There are a range of opportunities open to you on completion of your probationary period.
Please read below to explore where your career within the Police Service of Northern Ireland may lead you.
Being a leader is not just about rank or grade, individuals at every level are exposed to situations which require them to demonstrate leadership ability. The nature of the service we deliver and the role we perform within the community brings significant responsibility and a belief that everyone in our organisation is capable of fulfilling a leadership role.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland values its staff and places considerable investment in developing the technical skills and leadership qualities required for career progression. Our pragmatic approach to developing staff recognises that both the organisation and the individual have a responsibility to contribute towards development.
On completion of your probationary period a range of opportunities will be open to you through internal promotion and vacancy processes.
On appointment, all police staff are required to complete a number of online learning programmes as part of their induction training.
As most police staff roles within the Police Service of Northern Ireland will require the role holder to have access to specialist computer systems, police staff will be required to complete specific training on these systems. The vast majority of systems training is delivered in house. If this is not covered as part of any induction programme, your Line Manager will discuss these requirements with you at the start of your employment.
The Leadership Training and Organisational Development (L&OD) Faculty at the Police College NI supports the development of both individuals and teams, across the organisation. Programmes and products have been designed to deliver the ambitions of the PSNI People and Culture Strategy 2020-25 and are underpinned by the Competency & Values Framework (CVF) and the PSNI Management and Leadership Framework (MLDF).
More details of the programmes on offer are available in our prospectus: L&ODFacultyProspectus
PSNI has an established culture of continuous professional development linked to the Internal Professional Development (PDR) system. Staff will use the PDR platform as a means to strive for continuous performance development. Within the PDR, which is led through line management, continuous performance conversations will be held on a regular basis to reflect your progress, achievements, support needed and identify any development requirements.
